Installation and dependecies.

LobiPanel is depended on jQuery, jQuery ui and bootstrap.

1. Include necessary css/js files

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <!--Include this css file in the <head> tag -->
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/jquery-ui.min.css"/>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/lobipanel.min.css"/>
   </head>

   <body>
      ...
      <!--Include these script files in the <head> or <body> tag-->
      <script src="lib/jquery.1.11.min.js"></script>
      <script src="lib/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
      <script src="bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
      <script src="dist/js/lobipanel.min.js"></script>
   </body>
</html>

2. Initialize plugin

Basic usage

LobiPanel initialization is simple. Just create correct markup of bootstrap panel and call plugin

<div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading">
        <div class="panel-title">
            <h4>Panel title</h4>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="panel-body">
        Lorem ipsum...
    </div>
</div>
<script>
   $(function(){
        $('.panel').lobiPanel({
            //Options go here
            ...
        });
    });
</script>

And you will get the following result.

Panel title

Lorem ipsum...

Using the buttons on the right side of the panel heading you can perform several actions.

This button removes the panel from document.
Warning!!!. This operation can not be undone.
This button expands the panel on full screen.
This button loads content in .panel-body from specified URL.
This button takes out the panel from its position in DOM hierarchy and makes it floating.
Anytime you like (with the same button) you can put the panel in its position.
This button has two functions.
1. It collapses and expands the panel.
2. It minimizes the panel at the bottom of the page when panel is taken out from DOM hierarchy.

On small screen panel controls are hidden and dropdown toggle button is shown.

Options

Options can be set via data-* attributes also. Just used dashed version instead of camelCase. For example: connectWith option via data-* attributes will be data-connect-with.

You can also use objects via data-* attributes. Example: data-close="{tooltip: 'Something'}"
